Cost of Trekking in Bhutan

All the tourists visiting Bhutan (except Indian, Bangladeshis & Maldivians) must be aware of minimum daily tariff that they must pay prior to their arrival in Bhutan. This is fixed at US $250 per person per night spent in Bhutan during peak tourist season (March, April, May, September, October & November) and US $200 per person per night spent in Bhutan during lean tourist season (June, July, August, December, January & February).

On top of minimum daily tariff, by virtue of smaller groups, single traveler have to pay an extra of $40 per night stay in Bhutan as surcharges and dual travelers have to pay an extra of $30 per person per night stay in Bhutan as surcharges during both peak and lean tourist seasons.

Onetime payment of US $40 per person is applicable as Bhutan visa fee on top of minimum daily tariff and surcharges.
